Many people in the South are put off by Bernie and would not vote for such a candidate. I am left of center here in Illinois, and I would think twice about voting for someone who was billed as a "Bernie" candidate. I am sick to death of Bernie, and I wonder why it's okay to criticize others for being old, but not Bernie.
